✺ Awareness of Your Child's World
Kids experiences online are not the same as yours. To protect your children, you need a simple way to assess the digital dangers and benefits of using tech and be fully aware of the effects on their health and wellbeing before deciding on rules about screen time.

✺ Fun Without Screens
Getting kids to do more living offline needs more than restrictions and a tech agreement. Their devices create physical and emotional craving for more and more screen time. Parents need support to go through a carefully structured process with their children to help them regain their focus on the real world.

✺ Real World Skills
Critical social skills are developed when children engage in real world experiences, building deep and lasting friendships. Confronting real-world challenges shapes kids into resilient, healthy adults, and parents need support to develop communities and groups that are suitable for their children to thrive so they’re protected while exploring their full capabilities to be themselves.
Real People, Real Experience.

Why This Matters
Parents are struggling with how to make sure their kids are developing in healthy ways when everything is happening silently online. Sometimes it seems like they’ve turned into different people and you’re worried about what they’re actually doing. It’s too hard to take their devices away, and trying to deal with it on your own often increases stress and conflict within the home.
As a mother of two children, I’ve been through these challenges. Being an experienced IT professional, I thought I knew enough to protect my kids - but it was too late when I found out what they’d really been exposed to.
Why This Is Needed Now
AI has increased the problems still further. It’s not just about Social Media.
Every day, kids are dealing with fake content and fake people. The extreme levels of abuse, violence and bullying are hard for adults to comprehend. Pornography has become normalised and commonplace for kids to watch for entertainment.
Children are left distressed and feeling isolated even when they’re at home, suffering emotional and mental health problems that last into adulthood.
It’s too hard for parents to know what to do without reliable information and a clear, proven system to guide them.
The Digital Parenting Support Program is not about telling you how to be a better parent. It’s about getting your kids out of danger and away from the digital toxicity that’s impacting their free and happy childhood.
My mission is to support you through the process of restoring your children’s wellbeing to live the happy, healthy lives they deserve, free of harmful technology.
I’m passionate about the rights of all children to live active, joyful lives.
My vision for the future is one where children are thriving, with opportunities to experience all that life has to offer.
Children shouldn’t feel disconnected from their own purpose, unable to enjoy or experience the world around them.
"“Jane brings a refreshing and very needed paradigm challenge on how to use technology to make lives better and more simplistic, without losing our ‘human-ness’.”
